Mrs Nerd talks about Food

James / February 22nd, 2012

Mrs Nerd’s Cinemassacre Recipes:

I think sharing some Cinemassacre Recipes is a great Mrs Nerd blog because for me, food is a trigger for memories and a great springboard for some behind-the-scenes stories. I was also really psyched to see how many people were intrigued by my cooking and interested in my recipes after my initial introduction. Without a doubt, my favorite job at Cinemassacre Central is to play craft services. Ya know, the fancy industry term for keeping everyone fed, and comfortable. So, I thought it would be fun to create a Cinemassacre Menu. Starting at breakfast through to dessert, peppering in some fun stories to go with the recipes. I wouldn’t suggest that you eat all of this in one day, of course, as many of the items are special treats to be enjoyed on a hard day or special occasion and not part of a balanced and healthy diet. Personally, with our busy schedules, we are lucky if we get one good, home-cooked meal per day and just enough high protein snacks to keep us alive, but when we do get to treat ourselves, these are some of the things we like.

A Food related Fun Fact: James once went super fanboy over an extra feature on the Sin City DVD of Robert Rodriquez cooking breakfast burritos in his own personal kitchen. Upon watching this extra feature, James rushed to the grocery store to get every last ingredient so he could follow the video and make his own Rodriquez breakfast burritos. So, perhaps some of you will find yourself in this situation making the foods that James and the crew love. So, here it is, from start to finish, a menu that reminds me of some fun Cinemassacre moments and the stories to accompany them. Grub up!

Breakfast:
I knew James and I would be a good match the first time he cooked me breakfast. I’d like to mention that he had also cooked me dinner before, but it was not quite as impressive. (He warmed up two meatballs with marinara sauce that his mother had made. No pasta, no salad, just meatballs.) This ended up working out for us though since I love to cook, but am not too interested in breakfast. I’m not much of a morning person so I’m quite content with my Godzilla sized coffee and nothing else. James, however, waking up at the crack of noon, requires a full breakfast to kick-start his genius. One of James’ classic breakfast items I affectionately call “James’ Breakfast Mess”. Its kind of a spin-off of those Robert Rodriguez Breakfast Burritos and despite the name, it is completely delicious.

James’ Breakfast Mess (serves 2ish)
6 eggs, scrambled
olive oil
1 c. diced potatoes, peeled and boiled
½ c. jalapeno pepper, diced
½ c. mushrooms, sliced
½ c. diced pork roll (if you’re from the Philadelphia area, you know what this is) or ham (from yous guys not from Philly)
3 slices of mild cheese
splash of milk
salt and pepper to taste
– Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil. Saute pepper, mushrooms, and pork roll/ham. Add the boiled potatoes and sauté until golden brown. In a separate bowl, scramble the eggs. Add a splash of milk and tear the 3 slices cheese into the egg/milk mixture. (this is the super secret James method) Slowly add the egg/milk/cheese mixture into the skillet and stir until eggs are cooked. Remove from the heat and serve. It looks a mess, but its quite good.

Serve with a cup of the famous James’ Hot Tea:
Prepared English Breakfast Tea
2 Tbsp of vanilla ice cream melted
1 tsp of honey

Lunch:
James and I both have similar feelings for the city of Philadelphia. Simply put – it is our home. We’ve both been to a lot of places in the world and are currently living in Los Angeles. We have considered moving permanently (particularly while cursing the bone chilling wind and snow mid January) but will never feel the same way about another city as long as we live. Philadelphia is kind of like an eccentric, drunken uncle. He’s definitely not the most elegant, he has his fair share of faults and certainly smells of booze and urine, but you love him in a way you can’t explain. For both of us it was the first place we ever lived away from our families and were on our own. It was the city that nurtured our artistic dreams and led us to each other, our friends and essentially the life we live today. When you’re talking food, I don’t think there is anything more quintessential to Philly than the cheese steak. Every Philadelphian will tell you that you must choose a steak and remain loyal to it. We take loyalty quite seriously in the city of brotherly love. James and I are Pat’s people. Its simple, no-frills façade and “neighborly” service keep us coming back year after year. Never have I felt more at home than when standing in line at 2:30 in the morning on the corner of 8th and Passyunk, freezing my ass off and knowing that only seconds after uttering the sacred phrase “wiz witout,” I will be wrapping my lips around heaven itself. Wiz witout simply means cheese wiz without onions while James prefers his provy wit, meaning Provolone cheese with onions.
If you find yourself unable to visit Philadelphia you can attempt to make your own with this recipe although I can promise you it will not taste the same. It’s a decent impression, but not the real thing.

Preheat a large griddle to medium heat. Coat the bottom with olive oil. Sauté the onions until translucent and then remove from the griddle and set aside. Distribute the sliced steak in a single layer, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and sauté until cooked through. In one hoagie roll layer the 4 slices of provolone, half of the cooked steak and the onions (this is James’ choice – Provy wit). In the other roll layer the other half of the steak. Then to be completely authentic coat the paint stick in cheese whiz and smear it through the steak… or you could just warm it up and pour it over the top.

Drink: Orange Gatorade
I always have tons of this on hand for all the sweaty, dehydrated and overworked boys filming in hot costumes and under hot lights.

Dinner:
Just about everyday, whether the crew is over or it is just James and I, I cook dinner. It is my Zen hour. Some people meditate, I cook dinner. Even though I have a lot of ideas and recipes floating around in my head that I’m eager to try out, I almost always ask James what he would like for diner and he usually says some type of seafood. One of his favorites is shrimp very simply prepared with Old Bay seasoning. His all time favorite though is probably Beer Battered Fish. This is a dish that is perfect to eat when intoxicated, but not to prepare when intoxicated. You see, a few years back James and I had been out in the city enjoying a few beverages with friends. When we stumbled off the train and back to our apartment we realized that we were both a little hungry. It was probably close to 1AM at this point so James thought he was being a smartass by requesting his usual beer battered fish at such an hour, not expecting me to actually make it. I thought nothing of it though and got to work. James put on some Metallica and we were soon having a good time rocking out and cooking. Not paying as much attention as I should, the oil got a bit hot and started to spatter. At the same time the cat (yes, the infamous Boo) ran through the kitchen and I uttered the now fondly remembered phrase “Watch out Boo, Mommy’s Drunk n’ Makin’ Fish”. Its kind of an inside joke and I’m still not quite sure why James finds this so incredibly comedic, but he still repeats the story every time I make the dish. That night it may have come out a little crispier than usual, but I think we will remember that story for a long time.

Appetizer:Shrimp with Old Bay
½ lb peeled, deveined shrimp coated in olive oil and Old Bay Seasoning to taste. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven until just pink indicating they are cooked through. We aren’t really condiment people so we’d just munch on those plain, but I supposed you could rock a nice cocktail sauce or tartar sauce to go with them.

Entrée:Beer Battered Fish
2 Filets of any firm, white fish you desire. I typically use Tilapia because it’s cheap, but cod would work nicely also. Patted dry with a paper towel.

Oil for frying: If you have a deep fryer, this is probably easiest. Just prepare according to the directions. I don’t have one of those so I typically use a large stockpot and put enough vegetable or canola oil in the pot to come approximately 2 – 3 inches up the side. Preheat the oil on medium to high heat. To test if the oil is ready, toss a little scrap of bread the size of a coin into the oil. It should float on the top and sizzle a little becoming golden brown. If it sinks or does nothing and doesn’t start to brown, the oil is not hot enough. If it fries up and turns too dark too quickly, the oil is too hot and needs to cool. WARNING: Frying is not safe, do this with caution, and at your own risk. Children should not try this. (Especially cause it has booze in it too, ya sillies!) Its probably safest and easiest if you just google how to fry something and go by those directions.

Side Dish:Motherfucker Mike’s favorite Spinach and White Beans
Olive oil
A 6 oz. bag of fresh baby spinach
¼ c. diced turkey pepperoni
2 Tbsp minced garlic
¼ c. diced onion
1 c. halved cherry tomatoes (tri-color heirloom variety makes it purty to look at, but you can use plain red ones if you want)
1 can drained and rinsed white beans (cannellini beans)
– Coat a large sauté pan with olive oil and sauté onion, garlic and pepperoni over medium heat until onions are translucent but do not burn the garlic. Add the tomatoes and continue to sauté until they cook down a little bit. Then add the spinach and wilt down. Lastly add the white beans and heat through stirring continuously.

Drink:
Nice cold bottle of Rolling Rock – duh! Actually any beer will do since they are a staple at the Rolfe residence. Yuengling Lager is probably our favorite, cheap, classic beer to have around. I think my all time favorite beer though is either Weihenstephan hefeweisen or Schneider Weiss and James’ is probably Hofbrau original or possibly Guinness.

Dessert:
As I mentioned, I’m big into the gourmet cupcake fad and enjoy experimenting with strange and unique flavors. I also like to bake something special for my friends on their birthdays. This is how I came up with my now famous Mt. Dew Cupcakes. You all know Matt Conant, collaborator on many Cinemassacre Productions and one of the co-creators and stars of OverAnalyzers. What you may not know is that his veins are coursing with Mt. Dew. I truly think that if you were to attempt to take a vile of his blood, it would in fact yield a lime-green, caffeinated liquid. So when his birthday rolled around, I knew I had to try to bake something with Mt. Dew in it. The result was surprisingly really good.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar. Mix in the eggs, one at time, beating well after each addition. Gently mix in flour mixture alternately with the mt. dew.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

@Hazard totally agree It’s a good waste of time and one that you can eat afterwards 😀 I think im gonna waste my time trying these out

@Hazard What’s the matter? Do you far prefer McDonald’s? Personally, I WISH I could get a good home cooked meal every day of my life. I’d hardly ever eat out if I could.Also….if you really think this post was a waste of time, why read it? Oh right…..trolling. Gotcha.

The fish sounds fantastic, as do the the cupcakes. I’m not a fan of jalapenos so I would probably omit them from the breakfast mess, but it also sounds great. James is lucky to have someone who is really into cooking. I mean, come on, who DOESN’T like eating?!

Any cooking recipie I ever get my hands on is nothing more than an excuse for me to burn down the neighborhood. Not much in the way of skill in cooking, but it all sounds delicious. Maybe I will tell the fire department to standby, and I’ll give it a go.

NormanPlechner

February 22, 2012 at 4:57 pm

Pat’s is 9th and Passyunk, but close enough. As another Philadelphia native I prefer Steve’s or Tony Luke’s (not the one at CBP) but I recently found out that Chink’s on Torresdale (couple streets north of Comly where I live) is actually my new favorite. It’s hard to get a good cheese steak unless you hit a spot that actually specializes in them, or else you get that frozen scrambled mess.

@philradz Eggs are amazing. As is bacon. Get some exercise, drink plenty of water, and it’s not as much of a problem. Plus….I doubt he eats this every single day.

It’s really awesome to hear that you guys love your home so much. I can relate; no matter how cold and miserable it gets in the winter, I am and will always be a Bostonian. I know what you guys mean when you say you’re really proud and fond of your home.

Devil_Rising

February 22, 2012 at 5:26 pm

God damn. I really need A) a nice house with a huge kitchen, and B) a good woman who really loves to cook (as I also do). Great stuff, Mrs. Nerd.

Also, it’s funny about James and those burritos. There was a special feature on Spanglish of all movies (it’s actually rather good), where Adam Sandler (who played a gourmet chef in the movie), is hanging with a real chef, showing how to make these awesome sandwiches with fried egg that he made in the movie. I STILL to this day have not tried it out myself, but damn did it look delicious!

Devil_Rising

February 22, 2012 at 5:27 pm

P.S. It’s funny he loves Old Bay. That shit is THE staple of Baltimore. lol

I’ve seen so many shows on Pat’s and the heated cheese steak debates, so I knew exactly what you were talking about when you said wiz witout. Those shows make my mouth water everytime, I’d love to try a true cheese steak. I’m definitely going to have to try those Mt. Dew cupcakes, my husband would LOVE them.

February 23, 2012 at 1:45 am

@MegAtronia speak for yourself. I was interested. and you’re nothing but a joke posting on here.

Please leave the comments page for the real fans of Cinemassacre and the nerd because no real fan would say such offensive things on here, especially about his own loving wife.

Please make a video tutorial (I know your camara shy and don’t like to feature in videos) but I seriously want to make these move for move along with any other cool recipes you got. For people hating this kind of things you got to remember this isn’t James doing them, it maybe his website but it’s his family and friends showing off their skills and interest’s. just as we fell in love with James’s pastion for film making and comedy with video games. I’ve already grown to love Mike’s extended knowledge about everything months back and already starting to love Mrs Nerd’s (Sorry can’t remember name) awesome attitude and skills and can see James is lucky to have someone like her. So all you trolls and haters may sod off and hold back your “Cinemassacre is dead, or It’s becoming a chick website or James doesn’t give a damn”. This is but the great expanstion of cinemassacre in all fields of interest and I’m looking forward to seeing more, and I’m sure a lot more people are.

BTW I’m still laughing from the phase “Watch out Boo, Mommy’s Drunk n’ Makin’ Fish” that should be made into a cinemassacre shirt

As for the Mountain Dew cupcakes, “suprisingly good” is an understatement. Now that I know the secret recipe, there’s a good chance I will never eat anything else again.

February 22, 2012 at 8:10 pm

Another great recipe that includes beer is Jailhouse chicken, basically you slow roast a whole chicken, while a full can of beer is shoved up its ass. This is not a joke, i’ve actually made this and its delicious 😀

Big McLargehuge

February 22, 2012 at 8:14 pm

@martinlupo Yeah, best chicken ever!! The best way is use the indirect heating method on the barbeque with some hickory smoke. Just sit the bird on the can for about 2 hours… yummy!

Dang, all these recipes are making me hungry, and I just had a light snack! You really sell the recipes well, Mrs. Rolfe! A++!

As for the “Drunk n’ Makin’ Fish” joke, I find it humorous as well, albeit for a different reason than James does (James, if you’re reading this, please forgive me for putting words in your mouth), and that reason is just pure randomness. (What can I say, I find “The Goon Show” hysterical.)

I need the recipe for the “Gyromite Sauce” (tzatziki)). You brought it over for New Year’s Eve with a veggie plate. We had devoured about half of it when you casually mentioned , “Yeah, James asked me to make a shitload of this for one of his videos,” to which I replied, in horror, “What the hell did James do with a shitload of white creamy stuff in a Nerd videos?” All of a sudden, everyone in the room turned sickly pale…except for Lee, who started laughing hysterically and replied, “Yeah, hasn’t Bugs Bunny taken enough abuse?”

mrs_nerd

February 23, 2012 at 4:12 pm

@StephanieYuhas haha! That’s our Lee! I have to say that whole Gyro ended up being pretty delicious. I tried really hard to be as authentic as possible. I’ll have to pass that recipe on sometime also. For now, the tzatziki is really simple: 1 cup plain greek yogurt (I used nonfat), 1 small cucumber (peeled and diced into the tiniest cubes you can manage), 1/2 tsp. cumin powder, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Mix it all together and serve with veggies or pita chips.

Wow..! Who have guessed Mrs. Nerd likes Weihenstephan Hefeweizen. That beer is originally brewed in my Hometown and considering the facts that my hometown and yours, Mrs. Nerd is about 20000 miles and across the big lake from each other, makes me happy. Who here in Freising would have dream that this noble drop of Beer is so well known in the US. That makes kinda proud. Thank you, Mrs. Nerd 🙂

Oh my god, I am so hungry, Those recipes look awesome! I don’t see why some people are complaining about Mrs. Nerd and all that.I like the fact that Cinemassacre’s horizon is widening.

I think people are worried that james will stop making videos or something, which is not gonna happen. The reason he hasnt been making AVGN videos for a long time is because he is working on the AVGN movie and personally, I like the other horror stuff more than AVGN. (they are both great though)

I want to see curse words and profainity while playing video game. i dont want to see no food recipies.

@laughs He answered this on his Reddit Q&A. Basically, the name came from his tendency to cheat in Board James. Aka, being a motherfuckin’ cheater. After that, the nickname was adopted and thus everyone on the site knows it. However, those people who hadn’t seen Board James just thought the name was being vulgar just for the sake of it. (Aka not seeing it in context)

He doesn’t mind peeps still calling him Motherfucker Mike, but he has dropped the name.

I really enjoyed reading that. Thanks for sharing, Mrs. Nerd. And a Motherfucker Mike reference as well. I haven’t heard those words uttered around Cinemassacre for weeks. “Mike from Cinemassacre.com’s favorite Spinach and White Beans” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it 😉 You just took me back to the past, I think.

Seriously people, are you guys retarded? Don’t feed the fucking trolls. You’re only making it worse.

Back to Mrs. Nerd and her foodstuffs, I also drink orange gatorade ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It’s pretty disgusting when I think about it, but I can’t stop drinking it. And the breakfast mess sounds awesomely delicious. I’m not much of a seafood person, besides the occasional fried shrimp dish, but I’d be willing to try your beer battered fish.

Mt. Dew cupcakes just sounds delicious and disgusting all at the same time, very much a guilty pleasure. And the cheesesteak, hmm.. I can’t say that I know anything about philly steaks, so wiz wit. Though, Pat’s vs Geno’s is a moot point with me. I’m not from Philly, so I don’t really care.

No green peppers in that CheeseSteak sando?? Blasphemy!! 😉 Thanks for sharing!

February 23, 2012 at 5:33 pm

Thanks Ms. Nerd! Though I am from Italy and and you, James, and Mike know, Philadelphia is home to many Italian immigrants. There is great food to be had in the city and some horrible pile of shit, too. I do not like Italian American food to be honest because it is not fresh enough. And oddly the best Italian food is made by non Italian people. hehe

Philly is also a great beer place, and for me, I come from Collingswood, NJ to go to get some great craft beer at such places like Hawthorne’s Cafe (on 11th and Fitzwater) The Farmer’s Cabinet (1113 Walnut) and of course Monks (16th and Locust or there abouts)

Thanks so much for sharing!

I was looking forward to reading more of your posts, Mrs. Nerd, and you did not dissapoint 🙂

There’s so much I loved about this post, but I think my favorite part was the “Watch out, Boo, Mommy’s Drunk n’ Makin’ Fish” line, lol. Anecdotes and recipes, perfect combination. I’m definately trying “James’ breakfast mess” one of these days 😛

Gross. Please don’t feed this to anyone until I have my own taste test.
Just kidding, I think.

Thanks, Mrs. Nerd, for the fun stories and recipes. I’m definitely gonna try a few! And that quote of yours from the drunk fish night was hilarious. You don’t think it’s funny?
